JavaScript - Form Validation: Styling Form Field Borders Green If Ok And Red If Not?
I've set up a mock registration form page so I can learn a bit about javascript's form validation. (newbie) I want to try to attempt to style the border of a form field green when the user enters the correct info into the form text field and red on all other fields if the user doesnt enter any info into them. When i test it, enter the right info into the username field, leave the others blank, and hit the submit button it styles the username field green ok but it doesnt make the next fields (password and so on) red. Could someone please explain what I am doing wrong?
here is my code so far... Note: just for testing purposes I've put return false on everything so it displays a message when everythings ok. Code: .... <script type="text/javascript"> window.onload = function() { document.forms[0].username.focus(); } function validate(form) { var form = document.getElementById("reg"); var e = document.getElementById("error"); e.style.background = "red"; for(var i = 0; i < form.elements.length; i++) { var el = form.elements[i]; if(el.type == "text" || el.type == "password") { if(el.value == "") { e.innerHTML = "Please fill in all fields!"; el.style.border = "1px solid red"; el.focus(); return false; } else { el.style.border = "1px solid green"; return false; } } } var un = form.username; un.value = un.value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,""); if((un.value.length < 3)|| (/[^a-z0-9\_]/gi.test(un.value))) { e.innerHTML = "Only letters,numbers and the underscore are allowed (no spaces) - 3-16 characters"; un.focus(); return false; } var pw = form.password; pw.value = pw.value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,""); if((pw.value.length < 3) || (/[^a-z0-9]/gi.test(pw.value))) { e.innerHTML = "Only letters and numbers are allowed (no spaces) - 3-16 characters"; pw.focus(); return false; } e.innerHTML = "You filled in all the fields, well done!"; e.style.background = "green"; return false; } </script> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="header"> <h1>My Cool Website</h1> </div> <div id="content"> <div class="padding"> <h2>Registration</h2> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

I have written a form in HTML which contains username,lastname,email,password and submit. I have written a javascript to validate this form [validate(username,lastname,email,password)]. On submit this javascript function will be called and hence form get validated. I am passing all the arguements(username,lastname,email and password) to the javascript function.. Is it possible to make me a code such that it should call an individual function for each field in the form.for ex:if i have not entered username, last name in the form and attempt to submit, only username arguement should be passed to the function as it comes first in the form. In other sense i want to validate individual text field validation of my form. So can anybody help me.It will be very needful to me.

I've literally tried everything. Read 26 tutorials, interchanged code, etc. My validation functions all work. My AJAX functions work (tested manually using servlet URL's). The second servlet validates the reCaptcha form that's generated on my webpage. After the form is validated, even if everything's correct, nothing happens upon clicking submit. I even have an alert pop up if with the captcha result, just for middle-layer debugging purposes. I want to do all of my validation clientside; none serverside. However, going to be tough if I can't get my god damn form to submit. I've been puzzled by this for close to 36 hours straight. I can't see, and I'm going to get some rest and hope that there is some useful insight on my problem when I return. html form: Code: <form id="f1" name="form1" onsubmit="validate_form(this); return false;" action="register" method="post"> <table cellspacing="5" style="border: 2px solid black;"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <table cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td>*First name</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_one"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="fn" name="fn" onBlur="validate_one();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Last name</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_two"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="ln" name="ln" onBlur="validate_two();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Email address</td> <td align="right"><span id="result"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="mailfield" name="email" onBlur="startRequest();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Phone number</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_three"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="pn" name="pn" onBlur="validate_three();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*City/Town</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_four"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="c" name="c" onBlur="validate_four();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td> <select name="s"> <option value="AL">Alabama <option value="AK">Alaska <option value="AZ">Arizona <option value="AR">Arkansas <option value="CA">California <option value="CO">Colorado <option value="CT">Connecticut <option value="DE">Delaware <option value="FL">Florida <option value="GA">Georgia <option value="HI">Hawaii <option value="ID">Idaho <option value="IL">Illinois <option value="IN">Indiana <option value="IA">Iowa <option value="KS">Kansas <option value="KY">Kentucky <option value="LA">Louisiana <option value="ME">Maine <option value="MD">Maryland <option value="MA">Massachusetts <option value="MI">Michigan <option value="MN">Minnesota <option value="MS">Mississippi <option value="MO">Missouri <option value="MT">Montana <option value="NE">Nebraska <option value="NV">Nevada <option value="NH">New Hampshire <option value="NJ">New Jersey <option value="NM">New Mexico <option value="NY">New York <option value="MC">North Carolina <option value="ND">North Dakota <option value="OH">Ohio <option value="OK">Oklahoma <option value="OR">Oregon <option value="PA">Pennsylvania <option value="RI">Rhode Island <option value="SC">South Carolina <option value="SD">South Dakota <option value="TN">Tennessee <option value="TX">Texas <option value="UT">Utah <option value="VT">Vermont <option value="VA">Virginia <option value="WA">Washington <option value="WV">West Virginia <option value="WI">Wisconsin <option value="WY">Wyoming </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td><span id="error"></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">*Anti-Spam Verification</td> <td></td> <td id="reCaptcha"></td> </tr> </table> </td> <td valign="top"> <table cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td align="left">*Affiliation</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_five"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="affl" name="affl" onBlur="validate_five();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Research Area:</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_six"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="ra" name="ra" onBlur="validate_six();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="left">*Research Overview</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_seven"></span></td> <td><textarea cols="38" rows="6" id="ro" name="ro" onKeyDown="limitText(this.form.ro,this.form.countdown,500)" onKeyUp="limitText(this.form.ro,this.form.countdown,500)" onBlur="validate_seven();"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td><font size="1">You have <input readonly type="text" name="countdown" size="1" value="500"> characters remaining.</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Talk Availability</td> <td></td> <td> <input type="radio" name="ta" value="In person">In person <input type="radio" name="ta" value="Online">Online <input type="radio" name="ta" value="Both" checked>Both </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Links</td> <td></td> <td> <table id="linkTable" border="0"> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" name="link"></td> <td><div id="result"></div></td> </table> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"><input type="button" value="Add Link" onclick="addLink('linkTable')"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><span style="color: red;"></span></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <br /> <input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form"> </form> Javascript file: Code: /* * script.js - ajax and table functions */ var xmlHttp;

Problem is, right now, I can only get it to validate the first page, then it sends the email before the rest of the pages are viewed. I'm just trying to delay the submission of the form until the "submit_fourth" button is pressed. I've got $25 via paypal for the one who sticks with this one for long enough to come up with a workable solution. Here is my code... I know it's a lot, but I wasn't sure how much would be helpful. HTML code is in the second post in this thread (it was just too much to fit in one go). Cheers! -Dave The Javascript: Code: $(function validateForm(){ //original field values var field_values = { //id : value 'name' : 'your name', 'email' : 'email', 'phone' : '(555) 123-4567', 'other' : 'other', 'detail' : 'project overview' }; //inputfocus $('input#name').inputfocus({ value: field_values['name'] }); $('input#email').inputfocus({ value: field_values['email'] }); $('input#phone').inputfocus({ value: field_values['phone'] }); $('input#other').inputfocus({ value: field_values['other'] }); $('input#detail').inputfocus({ value: field_values['detail'] }); //reset progress bar $('#progress').css('width','0'); $('#progress_text').html('0% Complete'); //first_step $('form').submit(function(){ }); $('#submit_first').click(function(){ //remove classes $('#first_step input').removeClass('error').removeClass('valid'); //ckeck if inputs aren't empty var emailPattern = /^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/; var fields1 = $('#first_step input[type=text]'); var error = 0; fields1.each(function(){ var value = $(this).val(); if( value.length<5 || value==field_values[$(this).attr('id')] || ( $(this).attr('id')=='email' && !emailPattern.test(value) ) ) { $(this).addClass('error'); $(this).effect("shake", { times:3 }, 50); error++; } else { $(this).addClass('valid'); } }); if(error <= 0) { //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('25% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','85px'); //slide steps $('#first_step').slideUp(); $('#second_step').slideDown(); } else return false; }); $('#back_second').click(function(){ //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('0% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','0px'); //slide steps $('#second_step').slideUp(); $('#first_step').slideDown(); }); $('#submit_second').click(function(){ //remove classes $('#second_step input').removeClass('error').removeClass('valid'); var fields2 = $('#second_step input[textarea]'); var error = 0; fields2.each(function(){ var value = $(this).val(); if( value.length<5 || value==field_values[$(this).attr('id')] ) { $(this).addClass('error'); $(this).effect("shake", { times:3 }, 50); error++; } else { $(this).addClass('valid'); } }); if(error <= 0) { //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('50% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','170px'); //slide steps $('#second_step').slideUp(); $('#third_step').slideDown(); } else return false; }); $('#back_third').click(function(){ //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('25% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','85px'); //slide steps $('#third_step').slideUp(); $('#second_step').slideDown(); }); $('#submit_third').click(function(){ //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('75% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','255px'); //prepare the fourth step var fields3 = new Array( $('#time').val(), $('#budget').val() ); var fields2half = new Array( $('#detail').val() ); var fields2 = new Array( $('#other').val(), $('#pages').val() ); var fields1 = new Array( $('#name').val(), $('#email').val(), $('#phone').val(), $('#contact').val(), $('#url').val() ); var tr = $('#fourth_step tr'); tr.each(function(){ //alert( fields[$(this).index()] ) $(this).children('.1 td:nth-child(2)').html(fields1[$(this).index()]); $(this).children('.2 td:nth-child(2)').html(fields2[$(this).index()]); $(this).children('.2half td:nth-child(2)').html(fields2half[$(this).index()]); $(this).children('.3 td:nth-child(2)').html(fields3[$(this).index()]); }); //slide steps $('#third_step').slideUp(); $('#fourth_step').slideDown(); }); $('#back_fourth').click(function(){ //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('50% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','170px'); //slide steps $('#fourth_step').slideUp(); $('#third_step').slideDown(); }); $('#submit_fourth').click(function(){ //send information to server //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('100% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','339px'); //slide steps $('#fifth_step').slideUp(); $('#fourth_step').slideDown(); if(error <= 0) { return true } else{ return false } }); }); Hi guys, Been stuck for a few days with this scenario.

Problem is, when I run validation on my form, it seems to work, but no email is sent. But when I disable validation, the email sends just fine. I am fairly new to JavaScript, and need some help pinpointing where my error is. Here is the code. Code: // BEGIN JAVASCRIPT $(function(){ //original field values var field_values = { //id : value 'name' : 'your name', 'email' : 'your email', 'yourmessage' : 'I would like to inquire about' }; //inputfocus $('input#name').inputfocus({ value: field_values['name'] }); $('input#email').inputfocus({ value: field_values['email'] }); $('textarea#yourmessage').inputfocus({ value: field_values['yourmessage'] }); //form validation $('form').submit(function validateForm(){ return false }); // removing this return false seems to mess up validation $('#submit').click(function(){ //remove classes $('#sendamessage input').removeClass('error').removeClass('valid'); //ckeck if inputs aren't empty var emailPattern = /^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/; var fields1 = $('#sendamessage input[type=text],#sendamessage textarea'); var error = 0; fields1.each(function(){ var value = $(this).val(); if( value.length<2 || value==field_values[$(this).attr('id')] || ( $(this).attr('id')=='email' && !emailPattern.test(value) ) ) { $(this).addClass('error'); // css class $(this).effect("shake", { times:3 }, 50); error++; } else { $(this).addClass('valid'); // css class } }); if(!error) { // this is where I get confused.

It works without the javascript enabled. But when I turn on JS the form gets validated, but no email is sent. Please let me know if I should include anything else here... I've been looking at this code so much that I'm having a hard time doing it with fresh eyes. The problem page is on http://new.dauidusdesign.com/contact/. FYI, I am also looking to make this work with the 'request a quote' link on the same page. Cheers! -Dave Hi All, I have created my second Form to File Web Form thanks to some help from other members. Looks great. I am still new to HTML and Javascript, but basically I took my First Web Form coding (with the Java Script) and manipulated it so that it suited my needs for my 2nd Form (both are very close to being the same). For some reason, I can't get my Java Script validation to take effect. I was wondering if some one could try to pin point why it isn't functioning properly? Again it could be the most obvious thing, but please bear with me as I learn. Just for a little more clarity, I am going to list the things that I have changed to possibly make it easier to pin point: Added Fields: Department, SteetAddress, CityState Deleted: State/Research Accounts, Vendor Checkbox Modified: "Type" which is a radio button that I have changed the choices of. I beleive that's it...I will post my Java Script here and attach my Index File. Thank you in advance!! Code: /******************************************************************************** * * FORM VALIDATION * ********************************************************************************/ // get the value of a radio button group: function getRBValue(grp) { if ( grp.length == null ) return grp.checked ? grp.value : null; for ( var g = 0; g < grp.length; ++g ) { if ( grp[g].checked ) return grp[g].value; } return null; } // trim a string function trim(fld) { var val = fld.value.replace(/^\s+/,"").replace(/\s+%/,"").toUpperCase(); fld.value = val; return val; } var echk = /^([a-z][\w\-\'\.]*)+\@([a-z][\w\-\'\.]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6}$/i function emailCheck( fld ) { var email = trim( fld ); fld.value = email; return echk.test(email); } var digonly = /[^\d]/g function formatPhone( fld ) { var ph = fld.value.replace( digonly, "" ); if ( ph.length != 10 ) return; fld.value = "(" + ph.substring(0,3) + ") " + ph.substring(3,6) + "-" + ph.substring(6); } var phchk = /^\(\d\d\d\) \d\d\d\-\d\d\d\d$/ function phoneCheck( fld ) { return phchk.test(fld.value); } function validateForm( frm ) { var oops = ""; if ( trim( frm.elements["Username."] ).length < 5 ) oops += "You must enter your first and last name\n"; if ( ! emailCheck( frm.elements["Email."] ) ) oops += "That does not appear to be a valid email address\n"; if ( trim( frm.elements["Department."] ).length < 3) oops += "You must enter your department name\n"; if ( ! phoneCheck( frm.elements["Phone."] ) ) oops += "That is not a valid 10-digit phone number\n"; if ( trim( frm.elements["ShipToBuildingRoom."] ).length < 5 ) oops += "You must enter your building and room information\n"; if ( trim( frm.elements["StreetAddress."] ).length < 5 ) oops += "You must enter your street address information\n"; if ( trim( frm.elements["CityZip."] ).length < 5 ) oops += "You must enter your city and zip code information\n"; apptype = getRBValue( frm.elements["Type."] ); if ( apptype == null ) oops += "You must check one class\n"; var app = getRBValue( frm.RequireApprovalYesNo ); if ( app == null ) oops += "You must specify whether or not approval is required.\n"; if ( app == "Yes" ) { if ( trim( frm.Approver ).length < 5 ) oops += "You must enter the name of the approver\n"; if ( ! emailCheck( frm.ApprovalEmail ) ) oops += "The approval email is not a valid email address\n"; } } function showapp(yesno) { document.getElementById("APP1").style.display = document.getElementById("APP2").style.display = document.getElementById("APP3").style.display = yesno ? "" : "none"; } </SCRIPT> I've been using a script for verifying forms across several pages, and I've run into a page where it won't work the way it is. It's a form that loops through and creates a set of fields over and over, depending on the number of attendees. I'm assuming this disrupts the form verification because the fields get generated with the same id. I think I need to find another way to make sure the user enters valid and complete information. Here's what I've been using: Code: function myForm(){ // Make quick references to our fields var fname = document.getElementById('fname'); var lname = document.getElementById('lname'); var birth_month = document.getElementById('birth_month'); var birthday = document.getElementById('birthday'); var birthyear = document.getElementById('birthyear'); // Check each input in the order that it appears in the form! if(isAlphabet(fname, "Please enter only letters for your first name")){ if(isAlphabet(lname, "Please enter only letters for your last name")){ if(madeSelection(birth_month, "Pleace choose a birth month")){ if(madeSelection(birthday, "Please choose a birth day")){ if(madeSelection(birthyear, "Please choose a birth year")){ return true; } } } } } return false; } function isAlphabet(elem, helperMsg){ var alphaExp = /^[a-zA-Z ]+$/; if(elem.value.match(alphaExp)){ return true; }else{ alert(helperMsg); elem.focus(); return false; } } function madeSelection(elem, helperMsg){ if(elem.value == ''){ alert(helperMsg); elem.focus(); return false; }else{ return true; } } </script> <!-- the snippet that creates the form fields is he --> $count = $line; $i = 1; while ($i <= $count) { $i++; /* the printed value would be $i before the increment (post-increment) */ $x = $i-1; ?> <form name="register1" class="registration_form" method="post" action="register2.php" target="_self" onsubmit="return myForm()"> First Name<br><input type="text" name="kfname[]" id="fname" onfocus="this.className='reg_live';" onblur="this.className='reg_off';" /><br> Kid's Last Name<br><input type="text" name="klname[]" id="lname" onfocus="this.className='reg_live';" onblur="this.className='reg_off';" /><br> Birthdate<br> <select style="width:75px;" id="birth_month" name="bdate2[]" onfocus="this.className='reg_live';" onblur="this.className='reg_off';" > <option value="">month</option> <option value="01">Jan</option> <option value="02">Feb</option> <!-- etcetera --> </select> <select style="width:57px;" id="birthday" name="bdate[]" onfocus="this.className='reg_live';" onblur="this.className='reg_off';" > <option value="">day</option> <option value="01">01</option> <option value="02">02</option> <!-- etcetera --> </select> <select style="width:60px;" id="birthyear" name="bdate3[]" onfocus="this.className='reg_live';" onblur="this.className='reg_off';" > <option value="">year</option> <option value="1993">1993</option> <option value="1994">1994</option> <!-- etcetera --> </select> </form> Hello all, new here Seems like a very nice place to be apart of. I have my website www.gebcn.com. If you view source you will see all that I have done, but more importantly my problem. I have the JS code at the top there and I am unable to W3C validate my HTML because of the JS. I am using XHTML strict and would like to stay using it. The JS I have at the top is my form validation code. I am able to do any validating that I need with this "snippet" of code, I have shrank it from my library version just to use for this newsletter. Until now W3C validating was not important now for some reason it is and I am faced with this problem. I am not a Javascript guy more of a HTML/CSS guy and I can manipulate JS to suit my needs. <problem> I have tried to make this "snippet" of JS code an external file but receive multiple errors with the JS calling for the FORM NAME as it is not on the same page. The form NAME=NEWSLETTER is another problem, as W3C says I am unable to use attribute "NAME" in this location. <problem> I would like to keep the JS close to how it is now as I have a library to use this JS over and over again. Any pointers in the right direction or solutions to my problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Hopefully it is not to hard huh If there is anything anyone needs, the code pasted here, or anything else please let me know. Thanks again! How can I add a form field value to a url. I tried the below but it no work.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks so much in advance. HI all, I have a contact for that requires validating for a number of things. It validates Required for all parts of the form however fine. My question is how can I ensure the client fills out the form fully. For instance, here in the UK we use 11 digits for phone numbers, but the form will validate if the clint enters just 1, so how can I ensure the customer actually enters all 11. Here is the javascript I am using function isFilled(str){ return (str != ""); } function isEmail(str) { return (str.indexOf(".") > 2) && (str.indexOf("@") > 0); } function isDigital(str) { return(parseFloat(str,10)==(str*1)); } function isCurrency(val) { var re = /^(\$?\d+\$?|\$?\d+\.\d+\$?)$/; return (re.test(val)); } function ValidForm(form) { var field, i; var req = new Array(10); var email = new Array(1); var digits = new Array(1); var currs = new Array(0); req[0] = "rw_First_Name"; req[1] = "rw_Last_Name"; req[2] = "re_Email"; req[3] = "rd_Mobile_Number"; req[4] = "r_Hair_Service"; req[5] = "r_Stylist"; req[6] = "r_Preferred_Day"; req[7] = "r_Preferred_Date"; req[8] = "r_Month"; req[9] = "r_Preferred_Time"; email[0] = "re_Email"; digits[0] = "rd_Mobile_Number"; for (i=0;i<10;i++) { eval("field = form." + req[i]); if (!isFilled(field.value)) { alert("Field '" + field.title + "' is required to be filled in before successful submission."); field.focus(); return false; break; }} for (i=0;i<1;i++) { eval("field = form." + email[i]); if (!isEmail(field.value)) { alert("Field '" + field.title + "' is required to be filled in with valid email addresses before successful submission."); field.focus(); return false; break; }} for (i=0;i<1;i++) { eval("field = form." + digits[i]); if (!isDigital(field.value)) { alert("Field " + field.title + " is required to be filled in only with digits (0-9) and decimal point before successful submission."); field.focus(); return false; break; }} for (i=0;i<0;i++) { eval("field = form." + currs[i]); if (!isCurrency(field.value)) { alert("Field " + field.title + " is required to be filled in only with digits (0-9) a decimal point, or a dollar sign before successful submission."); field.focus(); return false; break; }} return true; } Hi all, I am trying to get a form to validate when the submit button is clicked. If I use this method with an <input type="submit"> it works fine, the validation runs and if there are no errors, the form submits: Code: <form name="form" class="form" id="Form" method="post" action="contact/send_email.php" onsubmit="return validate.check(this); "> <label for="Full_Name" accesskey="U">Your Name <span>*</span></label> <input name="Full_Name" type="text" id="Full_Name" /> <label for="Email_Address" accesskey="E">Email <span>*</span></label <input name="Email_Address" type="text" id="Email_Address" /> <label for="Telephone_Number" accesskey="P">Phone <span>*</span></label> <input name="Telephone_Number" type="text" id="Telephone_Number" /> <label for="Your_Message" accesskey="C">Message <span>*</span></label> <textarea name="Your_Message" id="Your_Message"></textarea> <input name="contactus" type="submit" class="submitbutton" id="contactus" value="Send Email" /> <p class="required"><span>*</span><i> denotes required fields.</i></p> </form> However, if i try to use a link to submit the form,the validation will not run: Code: <form name="form" class="form" id="Form" method="post" action="contact/send_email.php" onsubmit="return validate.check(this); "> <label for="Full_Name" accesskey="U">Your Name <span>*</span></label> <input name="Full_Name" type="text" id="Full_Name" /> <label for="Email_Address" accesskey="E">Email <span>*</span></label <input name="Email_Address" type="text" id="Email_Address" /> <label for="Telephone_Number" accesskey="P">Phone <span>*</span></label> <input name="Telephone_Number" type="text" id="Telephone_Number" /> <label for="Your_Message" accesskey="C">Message <span>*</span></label> <textarea name="Your_Message" id="Your_Message"></textarea> <div class="btns"><a href="#" class="button1" onclick="document.form.submit();return false;">Send Email</a></div> <p class="required"><span>*</span><i> denotes required fields.</i></p> </form> I'm very new to js so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Chris I need a code so when a user clicks the 'Send!' button, the information on the form is sent to an e-mail address. I'm not entirely sure on the best method to do this, if you have any ideas that'd be great VALIDATION: Validation checks need to be carried out on the onClick event of the 'send' command button. E-mail field: Standard e-mail validation needed, so it must include a @ and a . in order to be accepted. Query field: Must contain some text. No limit or minimum requirement. The reply check box doesn't need any validation, but if it's checked, the email that gets sent needs to have an indication of this. Thanks for any help Hello everyone, I found a form on this page http://sbpoley.home.xs4all.nl/webmatters/formval.html and I want to make something like that.. could someone please tell me the javascript code this. it doesnt have to be the entire code. just one texfield so I can see how it's done. I want to make a form where it validates while the user is entering the information... just like that example. thanks! Good Day, I am new to this forum so i hope i am posting in the correct place. I have been working on a form validation in javascript where the error messages should be displayed beside the form field (no alerts!). The error message is displayed when i iuse alerts but not otherwise. I have included a code snippet below. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. function validation() { //alert('made it here'); var fName = document.getElementById('txtFname').value; var fNameId = document.getElementById('txtFname'); if(validateName(fName,fNameId)){ return true; } return false; } function validateName(name,id){ var ck_name = /^[A-Za-z0-9 ]{6,20}$/; //alert('made it it here'); if(!ck_name.test(name)) { //alert("Invalid"); var message = "Should be between 3 and 20 characters and made up of etters, numbers or - symbol"; //create a new span element var sp = document.createElement('span'); //assign the new span element a class sp.className = 'error'; //assign span some content sp.appendChild(document.createTextNode(message)); //place the message after the form field document.body.insertBefore(sp, id); name.value=""; name.focus(); return false; } return true; } Please help me ....In the following code i have two tables each with a form and a submit button ...and is not working properly... each form should be validated separately wi the same javascript function <code> <html> <script type="text/javascript"> function validate_form1(frm){ var valid=true,z0=1; for (;frm['dropdown'+z0];z0++){ if (frm['dropdown'+z0].value.replace(/\s/g,'')==''){ document.getElementById("sp"+z0).style.color = "red"; valid=false; } else { document.getElementById("sp"+z0).style.color = "black"; } } if (!valid){ alert ( "Select at least one option." ); } return valid; } </script> <table> <form name="contact_form2" action="http://localhost//final1/facultyfeedbacksaving.php" method="post" onSubmit="return validate_form1 (this);"> <tr> <td><span id="sp1">Question 1:<select name="dropdown1"> <option value="">SELECT...</option> <option value="g">GOOD</option> <option value="s">Satidfactory</option> <option value="u">Unsatisfactory</option> </select> </td></tr> <tr><td><span id="sp2"> Question 2:<select name="dropdown2"> <option value="">SELECT...</option> <option value="g">GOOD</option> <option value="s">Satidfactory</option> <option value="u">Unsatisfactory</option> </select> </td></tr> <tr> <td><td align="center" colspan="2"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></td></td></tr> </form> </table> </td> <td rowspan=1 width="300" height="30" valign="top" bgcolor="yellow" > <?php echo $f2 ;$_SESSION['faculty2name'] = $f2;?> <table> <form name="contact_form3" action="http://localhost//final1/facultyfeedbacksaving.php" method="post" onSubmit="return validate_form1 (this);"> <tr> <td><span id="sp3">Question 1:<select name="dropdown3"> <option value="">SELECT...</option> <option value="g">GOOD</option> <option value="s">Satidfactory</option> <option value="u">Unsatisfactory</option> </select> </td></tr> <tr><td><span id="sp4"> Question 2:<select name="dropdown4"> <option value="">SELECT...</option> <option value="g">GOOD</option> <option value="b">BAD</option> <option value="a">Average</option> </select> </td></tr> <tr> <td><td align="center" colspan="2"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></td></td></tr> </form> </table> </html> </code> |
